Pure Innovations

Pure Innovations Pure is a charity supporting people with a disability and disadvantaged people to fulfil their potential.

This page is for people we support in Greater Manchester. Pure became an independent charity following a TUPE transfer from Stockport Council in 2005. We are a values led, creative organisation and our objectives are to promote independence, increase choice and provide appropriate support to people to enable them to make the most of their capacity and potential. In 1987 Employment Service

s was a part of Stockport Borough Council, providing employment opportunities and day care for people with a Learning Disability. We began a journey to modernise traditional day care across Stockport, moving away from larger institutions into smaller, community based settings. This move came from a strong belief in the philosophy that if we can support people to hold valued roles within communities then people with a disability would feel valued, and be recognised by others to have value. In 2005 we left the Local Authority and set up the charity Pure Innovations, continuing our vision to support a diverse range of people to live independent, healthy and valued lives in their communities. Today, we continue with our aim of supporting people to have a fulfilled life, with a sense of purpose and belonging. This can mean different things to different people and so Pure Innovations strives to provide a wide and varied offer, ranging from employment, volunteering and independent life skills to pursuing a variety of hobbies and interests. Our values have not changed over the years and have become a part of our DNA. We will be aspirational and believe in people’s ability to achieve amazing things even when they don’t believe it themselves.

Go Elena! 🙌🎨

Recently, Elena visited Lisburne School in Offerton to deliver a brilliant art session for students.

“It was awesome, I got to show my own work to the students, share my skills and help them learn,” Elena told us afterwards.

One of the teachers also let us know that some students were so inspired, they carried on with their artwork even after the session ended! 💙
